I am indeed far behind with the updates and stories, but at lest here is the second part of the statistics, right until today - before I will leave Addis Ababa tomorrow.Day 18:
Jinja/UGD
The city has one of the worst potholed roads so far, however roadworks on the main road give an indication that this might change to a better.

Day 19:
Jinja/UGD - Nakuru/KEN
300km on main highway with many trucks and other highspeed traffic. Mostly good tarmac with some speed humps.
Border at Busia is under construction, crossing both sides took less than 45 minutes, should be even quicker in the future, another one-stop-border is being built.

Day 20:
Lake Nakuru by car - Unfortunately motorbikes are not allowed in the National Park due to the presence of lion, rhino and water buffalo. Local drivers and 4x4 easily available for a nice drive around the lake, which still hosts a few hundred flamingos, however most of these have migrated to another lake due to high water levels since 2013.

Day 21:
Nakuru/KEN - Arusha/TZN
340km, 7 hours on main highways. Traffic gets intense closer to Nairobi, but the Southern Bypass is a quick way to avoid the city and head towards Mombasa Highway - however the last 15 km are still under construction, and partly construction hasn’t even started, which results in anarchy on dirt.
From the end of the bypass to the turnoff towards Tanzania its truck-mayhem on a 3- to 5-lane well-worn highway. Low speed, turning and stopping trucks, busses and cars pushing in from all sides - good nerves required.
The remainder to Arusha is easy cruising with almost no traffic at all for about 250km.
Border crossing at Namanga again on a giant construction site, with no clear indication where to go, but helpful money changers and fixers show the way. Crossing took about 1,5 hours, half of which was spent waiting in the cue for customs on the Tanzanian side.

Days 22-29: Arusha-Zanzibar-Arusha by plane and minibus

Day 30: Arusha/TZN - Nairobi/KEN (Jungle Junction):
270km, 4 hours including Friday afternoon rush hour into Nairobi
See Day 21 reverse - video of Nairobi traffic at https://vimeo.com/124695048

Days 31-33: Relaxing at Jungle Junction, chatting to fellow overlanders, tour planning…

Day 34: Nairobi - Marsabit
560km, 8 hours minimum - Left JJ 6:20 which was almost too late. Morning rush hour, then Estern bypass, after that easy cruising to Nanyuki (Breakfast at Barneys/Nanyuki Airstrip highly recommended). All good to perfect roads, some potholes, heavy traffic in villages.
From Isiolo to Archers Post good road, from Archers Post to Merille perfect brand new tar road - which ends brutally.
Approx. 40 km of dirt and gravel, only few stretches with deep ruts that rattle your teeth and your bike, but mostly well negotiable. Some roadworks with detours. Then approx. 50km finished road, which ends again in some well prepared detours. Main problem is the dust from the trucks and busses. Just before Marsabit some rain eased the dust but didn’t have any influence on the road surface - however I was told only two days later this stretch was flooded up to 50cm, which would have made it impossible for bikes to pass, even big trucks and busses were struggling and got stranded.
Roadworks should be finished by mid-2016.

Day 35: Marsabit - Moyale/KEN
250km - 4,5 hours
Through Marsabit in fog, pure dirt road to the other side of town, where the brand new road starts. 120km of perfect tar, through moonlike landscape.
After Turbi again some roadworks with detours, approx. 50km of road is finished, the last 60km to the border are a mix of old dirt road, roadworks/detour and some stretches of finished road, overall very slow going, but the road should be finished by end of 2015.
Customs and immigration on the Kenyan side are easy and quick, however the border was closed on this day due to some small riots on the Ethiopian side.

Day 36: Moyale/ETH - open road and return
50km by bike, 50km by truck - 3 hours
Ethiopian border: Customs check at boom - all luggage is checked for any new items. Ebola and yellow fewer check. Immigration was quick, however visa is strictly required - and business visa holders are NOT allowed to enter this land border (two Latvian bikers found out the hard way: Had to go back to Nairobi by bus, take plane to Addias Ababa, with bus to Moyale).
Customs issued temporary import permit in addition to carnet, free of charge but takes some time. Overall crossing took 45 minutes.
The promise of a nice tar road up to Addis ended before leaving Moyale: Potholes, potholes and more potholes - actually on the first stretch of 2 km more potholes than road. Then 30km of decent road with fewer potholes but lots of donkeys and cattle - and then: Roadworks! With deep potholes on the old road AND on the detour, which for me ended with a broken rear shock.
Bike on a truck, back to Moyale, spent the day in a workshop, where the expert buch mechanics welded the broken piece together, but it took the remainder of the day.
NO fuel available for 300km,

Day 36: Moyale/ETH - Yirga
375km, 8 hours - Another day, the same bad road: 375 kilometers of old road, roadworks with tricky detours, some new road, potholes and more potholes. In parts very slow going (10kph and less), almost all the way through villages with donkey carts, cattle, motorbikes, Bajaj,… some stretches of new road. Very windy sometimes mountainous roads, only few straight stretches.

Day 37: Yirga - Mojo
320km, 8 hours - Road works and slow going until Awassa, from there better roads but with increasing traffic (from carts to trucks). Partly desert feeling through poor areas, few but fast traffic.

Day 38: Mojo - Addis Ababa
70 km, 2,5 hours!
What seemed to be an hours ride took much longer than expected. The brand new „Expressway“ right into Addis is for cars only - even fast motorbikes are not allowed and sent back at the toll station: „You have to take old road“. And the old road is just that: Old, potholed, and FULL of trucks. Exhaust fumes and slow going, some roadworks with trucks and taxis pushing from all sides, sometimes the dust is so dense you barely see the truck in front of you (and not sure of the truck drivers can see any better or care at all).

Day 39-43: Addis Ababa
City is easy to navigate, some traffic, but much less than Nairobi etc. Some roadworks especially where the new light rail is almost finished.
